I did a small mod on the internal light and the led color themselves. I have a red and blue for the inner 2 led's. This way I can have a red night light or a red white and blue one.
I also GENTLY pushed the led's back into the housing. It still seals perfectly. You just tighten up the front screws a tad more.
I never worry about carrying it in my pocket or getting the led's scratched now.
It is a nice feature now not to blind you when it comes on. It still works perfectly to read with etc. I should have posted this a long time ago.
I also directed the internal led 90 degrees to the board. It shines out a bright blue spot now. I like this better so I have a bright blue light or a dim blue one...depending if I put it on its side.
If you are so inclined...a piece of ice maker tubing...attached to the led inside... will make a light wand look. I did not like it as it was too bright. You can get an unusual effect by cutting a thin piece of alien skin and putting inside the tubing. This will pick up the light and makes for an interesting effect when in the flash mode.
